The current state of /fa/ almost brings me to tears, it's no longer a place to discuss fashion, it's just an endless parade of faggots like OP, complaining about expensive clothing, or people replying to a pic of Rafdidas and asking for source. No one is forcing you to buy anything and if you don't stop being such a faggot I recommend that you leave and fuck off back to mfa

honestly i wish everyone tripped so we could filter out people who were just starting out with fashion

Fashion doesn't necessarily have to be pretty, in fact,the majority of high art at the moment - including fashion - is centred around eclecticism and the power of ugly; average looking people work hard to find haircuts and pretty looking clothes to emphasize the little natural beauty they have. Truly beautiful and unique looking people can conversely make a statement through the juxtaposition of what is considered ugly on their beautiful bodies and faces: pretty people don't need pretty clothes to look pretty.

fashion is appearance
it matters how good clothes look

why defend those shitty jeans if you also think they're ugly?

someone could make a hyper-realistic tapestry of a picture of a pile of shit, just because it would "require such an insane amount of hand-detailing" doesn't make it worth anything

The board is a shithole and that's unlikely to change, not sure if anyone here cares enough to try to do anything about it.

I'll probably start a runway general or something later tonight so there's at least one thread here that isn't a cop or not

this thread is the worst though, op you're a cuckold and I don't know why you're on a fashion board

>> No.9771906

>>9771865
But they are worth what is asked? one size is sold out and two others are about to be(at least on mrporter eu). Will probably be sold out before sales start

I think those jeans are beautiful, even more so irl

that said I wouldn't want to wear them, not my style

and different people like different things, I don't really get how that is such a hard thing to understand

you may not like them, but there are othe people who does

Hi! My name is Andrew and I like in the United States. I'm a 22 year old NEET (I prefer real life education) living with my parents in a small town in California. Recently I've been visiting a fashion board known as /fa/ on the infamous 4chan! Don't worry though, it's not full of degenerates and pedophiles! This like-minded community LOVES fashion, I mean look at all the Rick Owens and SLP threads! I'm only posting this to tell you, with my broad knowledge of the fashion industry since I've started browsing and posting on this board, that the best designer in the world is Raf Simons! Look at what he makes for the world -- genuinely pretty clothes! I know what you're thinking... "But fashion doesn't need to be pretty, and making pretty clothes doesn't necessarily make a good designer..." Well you're wrong! Look at all the successful brands:

>Prada - Miuccia's brand is only so successful because she produces 'PRETTY CHIC' clothing
>Comme Des Garcons - Rei obviously is trying to represent real like doll clothes! You know what dolls are? PRETTY!

I mean if we stick to what we always like, and what is thought to be 'Pretty' we will always have progress, right?

Experimenting with new things =/= Progress!!!!!
